Hyperlinks without Ctrl in Sharepoint Visio Web Parts

Staffan Söderholm 6

When publishing Visio-files in a Sharepoint Web Part hyperlinks only works with Ctrl. Is this possible to avoid? I have tried different kinds of Web Parts like File View or Embedding code with the same result.

Hi @Staffan Söderholm, if you save to PDF once complete. The hyperlinks work just fine without having to use Ctrl

Hi @Staffan Söderholm ,
We can use a JavaScript in a content editor webpart, which gets the URLs of the shapes in the Visio diagram. Please refer to following steps.
Place a ScriptEditor webpart on the same page that has the Visio webpart
Paste the following code into the webpart:
190375-test.txt

Per my research, the issue is also fixed in Dec CU and office 365. You can take a reference to the document

Hi again. I tried to follow your solution but there are some questions still. You talk about Visio web part but I don't think that kind of web part exists anymore. I have used Embedded code or File view to create a web part from a Visio file. The link with the fix is 8-9 years old and today web parts with Visio works quite differently. With Visio web part some years ago the links worked without Ctrl as standard but today they don't.
